New Year. New Chapter. New Opportunities.
Start 2027 surrounded by inspiring stories, creative entrepreneurs, local businesses and people who are ready to connect, grow and turn the page to their next chapter.
The Sapphire Authors & Creatives Showcase, presented by Sapphire Entertainment & Media Management and The Industry Highlighter Magazine, is an elevated community experience bringing together authors, entrepreneurs, creatives, vendors, readers, media professionals and community leaders for an exciting day of Books • Business • Creativity • Connection.
Guests can discover and purchase books from participating authors, meet local entrepreneurs and creatives, shop a curated marketplace, enjoy food and refreshments, network with like-minded professionals, and participate in engaging conversations designed to inspire and educate.
The event will feature curated panels including “The Power of Your Story: From Life Experience to Published Purpose,” “From Creative to CEO: How to Build a Business Around Your Creativity,” and a special Mental Wellness, Creativity & Community conversation as part of our developing Mental Wellness Initiative.
